The Petrol Wife

I've got a story too
 It started with I love you
 When I walked slow and true
 And my hips swung
 To the rhythm of you
 But I can't turn back
 To before you said that
 It happened in the kitchen
 It happened in the bathroom
 It happened in the car
 I guess it's just my bad luck charm
 Come, little bird, fly away
 At the first drum roll we undress
 At the second drum roll we get into bed
 To ensure order and silence
 Silence always makes me scream
 My room was pink
 When I was a child
 There were pretty things to look at
 And the shadows were so soothing
 And the shadows did cry
 And crawl and blame
 Left foot found my heart
 And the right broke it apart
 Left right, left right, left right
 At the first drum roll we undress
 At the second drum roll we get into bed
 To ensure order and silence
 Silence always makes me scream
 As the damned scream, saying nothing
 Forgive me lord
 Soldiers always return to the earth
 Come, little bird, fly away
